KUALA LUMPUR: The controversial National Revenue Recovery Enforcement Team (NRRET) has been abolished, says Lim Guan Eng.
The Finance Minister said the Attorney General has given him the confirmation that the powerful NRRET will no longer be in operation.
“The NRRET was established to collect money by force, they wielded guns like AK47 and officers wore balaclavas to raid the homes of regular businessmen,” Lim said during his opening speech at the Inland Revenue Boards’ National Tax Seminar 2018 on Tuesday (Nov 13).
He said the Government will collect tax arrears from defaulters according to the rule of law, via lawyers and the courts.
“Don’t worry, no one will raid your homes with guns or balaclava masks to collect tax,” he added.

NRRET tidak siasat 1MDB
KUALA LUMPUR: Jabatan Peguam Negara hari ini memaklumkan National Revenue Recovery Enforcement Team (NRRET) bukan sebuah pasukan petugas khas yang baharu ditubuhkan.
Sebaliknya, NRRET merupakan nama baharu kepada Pasukan Petugas Khas yang ditubuhkan sejak 2011.
Peranan utamanya antara lain adalah untuk menyelaraskan tindakan penguatkuasaan bersepadu pelbagai agensi dalam menangani pelbagai isu seperti pelarian cukai individu dan korporat dan duti kastam, penyalah gunaan barangan bersubsidi, pengaliran wang keluar secara haram dan isu berkaitan rasuah.
“NRRET tidak pernah terlibat dengan mana-mana siasatan yang melibatkan 1MDB dan syarikat-syarikat berkaitan,” kata Jabatan Peguam Negara dalam satu kenyataan media pada Selasa.
Jabatan itu turut mengesahkan Suruhanjaya Pencegahan Rasuah Malaysia (SPRM) adalah antara badan yang menganggotai pasukan tersebut.

Tuesday, 25 Aug 2015
PETALING JAYA: The current task force investigating money-related offenses is not new and is merely a rebranding of an existing one which has been around since 2011, says the Attorney-General’s Chambers (AGC).
“The National Revenue Recovery Enforcement Team (NRRET), is not a new task force but is a rebranding of the previous Special Task Force that has been in existence since 2011,” the AGC said in a statement Tuesday.
“The aims of NRRET remain the same, which is to assist the Government in dealing with … evasion of customs duties and tax by individuals and corporate bodies; smuggling activities; misuse of subsidised goods; illegal outflow of funds and acts of corruption which result in the abovementioned activities,” the AGC said.
It also clarified that the NRRET would not in any way be involved in investigating 1Malaysia Development Berhad or its related companies.
The NRRET is made up of the AGC; Royal Malaysian Police Force; Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission; Bank Negara Malaysia; Inland Revenue Department; Customs Department; Domestic Trade, Cooperatives and Consumerism Ministry; and the Companies Commission of Malaysia.
“NRRET primarily streamlines and coordinates the integrated multi-agency enforcement actions with regards to the aforementioned issues,” added the AGC.
The rebranding exercise was taken after new Attorney-General Tan Sri Apandi Ali assumed office late last month.
